I think the Buy it Now disappears if normal bids are placed, so it isn't always super useful for a seller. Don't know if this applies to Car auctions.

Yes, Australia Post has a maximum of 20kg of rust in one shipment.

Aaaand... the Turramurra 260Z is back on eBay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1974-Datsun-260Z-Coupe-/172491647747?hash=item28294dab03:g:FZAAAOSwImRYWTk2 Is the third time around now? Comments from the previous auction have been copied. I think the bidding finished around $15k last time. There must be some reason the sales are falling through...

Looks like an amazing project. I am very, very impressed. That BMW engine looks and sounds great.

2018? I thinks you are ahead of the game, AK.

That sounds pretty good. I signed up for Extra Care recently after the Z started having intermittent electrical issues. Haven't had to use it yet, fingers crossed.

Pretty sure Shannons lets you keep the car after a write-off as well, unlike most other non-'enthusiast' insurance companies. I have honestly never heard of Famous but I will give them a look around renewal time. @gav240z, my mate was knocked back by Shannons in 2013 insuring his FD RX-7 in Melbourne because he parked it in his driveway instead of a locked garage. RACV covered him. Four days later his car was stolen from his driveway and never recovered. Shannons obviously knew the risks better than the RACV. I had pretty much the same scenario with my 300ZX TT a few months later - knocked back by Shannons, insured by RACV. Car was broken into within first two weeks but luckily the immobiliser did its job.

I think that is a different tarmac rally Z on Carsales. Could be wrong.

Yeah, I really like the wheels too. Not everyone's taste. My Dad has been encouraging me to change them for minilites.

Thanks for the tip on Vinnies, Gav. I will give them a call. Sounds like I will be up for some serious $$$ for two bars + overriders. Then my ordinary paint will look even more ordinary...
